MY RESPONSES by -- Rebecca TM

What this book is about-- Sixteen-year-old Matilda Cook, separated from her sick mother, learns about perseverance and self-reliance when she is forced to cope with the horrors of the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia in 1793.

Why I like this book -- I like this book because it is thriling and you get really caught up in the story.
